Didn't buy one of these several insulators from a garage. They all came from vendors that lined about a half mile stretch of the villages Mail Street. If did any more walking searching garages I may have not made it home to take this pic. Some interesting finds though. The Diamond pony is more a gingerale proper (Canada Dry Gingerale Soda Pop) color with the fizzy bubbles then a light yellow tint. Not sure with shade the Hemingray-9 is. Several interesting details about the 133 creb. First is the #10 dome (first I ever see with a double digit #. Perfectly ping so you have to do a double look to see that crown # is a 10 and not 100. The patent dates are double embossed as well on the back side. Somehow not much of the letters were double embossed yet the numbers were. So we have JULY 225 1865 / JAN 2255 1870 and FEB 2222 1870. The 121 AM TEL is a light green. The 145 is a W. Brookfield with green streak. And the damages 162.1 has nice single amber swirl in front of dome that goes down into the lower skirt on right side of the Brookfield embossing.
